Automatic Payment Plan Option

To help you meet your educational expenses, South Central College is proud to offer Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS), formerly FACTS Management Co., as a convenient budget plan. This is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The cost to budget your interest-free monthly payment plan is a $25 per semester nonrefundable enrollment fee. You may budget your tuition and fees in the following ways:

Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) -- ACH payments may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th or 20th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.

Credit Card Option -- Your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate. Payments will be charged on the 5th or 20th of each month until the balance is paid in full.

A “Full Payment” option is also available through Nelnet Business Solutions/FACTS. There is a $2 nonrefundable enrollment fee if you choose this option. Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express credit cards are accepted by Nelnet Business Solutions. To enroll in the NELNET/FACTS Automatic Payment Plan log into your MnSCU account online, go to "Bills and Payment" and click on "Enroll in Payment Plan". For more information and enrollment dates, see the Automatic (NBS) Payment Plan Flyer.

NELNET/FACTS e-Cashier can also be accessed directly from here:Enroll in the NELNET/FACTS Automatic Payment Plan online. Students who enroll in the NELNET/FACTS Automatic Payment Plan prior to seven calendar days before the semester begins will be given the option to charge up to $600 of the cost of their textbooks and required course materials during the Bookstore Charging Period--which is typically the four business days before the semester start date and the first five days of the semester. The amount charged will then be automatically added to their payment plan balance after the 5th day of the semester and before their next scheduled monthly payment. Charges added to the payment plan balance will increase your monthly budgeted payment amount immediately. The charge receipt signed by the student will serve as written authorization for the increase in payment amount and will override the ten-day notification requirement.
